OUR TEAM

Our Approach.

Freight logistics with passion. We are your end–to-end supply chain partner.

Take full advantage of our vast network of carriers across New Zealand, Australia and overseas. Our negotiated rates, knowledge, experience and commitment to service excellence.

We offer fully managed solutions so that all you need to do is call us to arrange pickup and delivery of your goods, then settle the account when it’s all done. There is often a faster, more cost-effective or more efficient way to transport items than might at first be obvious. Simply tell us what’s important to you and we’ll have the solution to fit.

At all times, we operate with integrity and honesty.

Elliot Price

Director

As Director of Applied Logistics, Elliot Price is perfectly positioned to assist clients with their mainstream, unusual and more demanding freight requirements. A great believer in going the extra mile, Elliot knows that solving a client’s problem can make a positive difference to their day.

Having worked for a number of niche and large transport operators in both Australia and his native New Zealand, Elliot has gained a wealth of experience and built a strong network of contacts in the industry over many years. He knows the kinds of limitations that can be involved when dealing with particular carriers and that there will always be a different carrier who is equipped to step in when others can’t. Keeping his finger on the pulse of these capabilities is what led Elliot to establish Applied Logistics, a company whose point of difference is that they go beyond managing freight tasks and devise real solutions for clients.

Passionate about his industry and its wide realm of possibilities, Elliot is the Young Professionals (YP) Global Convener of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT). He was also the Queensland Section Chair with CILT Australia and represented Queensland and YPs on the Australian National Council. What all this means for Applied Logistics clients is peace of mind that their needs are serviced by a company whose director is a seasoned professional with exceptional depth of experience and knowledge.

Growing up on a sheep farm, Elliot has developed a wide skill set from creating solutions from the available resources. This has served him well in business, as well as in his hobby – lighting and sound design for community theatre.
